The children of Syria are still paying from their blood the price of the world’s inability to stop the ongoing war there and the various international and regional parties ’appetite for having a foothold on the land of Syria even if this leads to the killing and displacement of children, as is happening in Afrin as a direct result of illegal or unjustified Turkish interventions And as is happening now in Eastern Ghouta as a result of the ongoing conflict between armed militias supported by some countries in the region and calculated on the strength of political Islam, which has sufficient evidence of its use of children as human shields on one side and the regime forces that do not take into account the humanitarian rules on the other side.
